I have been freelancing
landscape, lifestyle and wildlife photography since the mid 80’s. The quest for
light drives we photographers to search out pretty places or to dissect our
surroundings to find illumination to capture where we are. It makes us seek out
beautiful things even in adverse conditions. During our dailytravel, we are looking for a beautiful
rectangle we can isolate out of the chaos of life.

bifurcated to include graphic design work, which opened the door to web
publishing requiring that I learned to write. I publish the Greater Yellowstone Resource Guidefor those planning to visit Yellowstone.
